Hofbrauhaus

Hofbrauhaus is an iconic Melbourne CBD restaurant that offers a little taste of Oktoberfest every day of the year with a menu of Bavarian classic dishes complemented by a serious selection of beers on tap, including imported Bavarian favourites that can be served in signature glass steins.

Hofbrauhaus has recently introduced a stunning new menu which includes its classics but also introduces some exciting new dishes. We absolutely loved tasting our way through the menu.

To start, we the Sommer Schupfnudeln – an absolutely stunning dish of light German gnocchi tossed with caramelised onion, roasted broccoli, preserved lemon and Swiss cheese. Just yum! A fluffy

For mains our top pick from the menu is the Schweinshaxe - the famous crispy pork knuckle. No diner will go hungry taking on the crispy pork knuckle served with mash potato, Sauerkraut, mustard, pork jus - an absolute stand out (and must-have!). Hofbrauhaus has truly mastered the art of pork roasting. The pork knuckle was succulently roasted to retain a porky juiciness, achieving a healthy layer of melt-in-the-mouth fat in the process - combining flawless texture with equally superlative flavours. Each moreish morsel was tender with the crackling, possessing the ultimate crunch.

The Pilzrahm schnitzel (mushroom schnitzel) was yet another mouth-watering option. Beautifully marinated and freshly crumbed chicken breast served with the most decadent creamy mushroom sauce, chips, slaw and Bavarian mayo.

Dessert time continued to please at Hofbrauhaus with their limited edition vegan dessert – Riesling poached pear served with a chocolate sorbet. It was a refreshing way to end what was a truly decadent meal.

Hofbrauhaus offers patrons the opportunity to experience Oktoberfest 365 days of the year in the heart of Melbourne. With the new food menu, it's an even more compelling proposition.
